@charlene-marshallHi. Betty….the laser therapy I have been “enjoying” since last February is done with the Laser IV as Dr. Hall described in his response to your inquiry.

I am totally thrilled that you have seen good changes in your PFT. AND it’s very substantial change at that!!! The good thing is that you are feeling improved and able to do more, have improved quality of life, but it is substantiated in your test results. So GLAD you started laser therapy!

Good morning! Hope you are both enjoying some warmer weather as we are in Pittsburgh! I have come down with a stubborn head cold and will not schedule my PFT until I’m certain it is gone! I don’t believe it has traveled down to my lungs, however, if it isn’t better by Monday, 4-8, I plan to call my Pulmonologist to…[Read more]-
Good morning Marsha! I happen to be in Montrose, Colorado right now, but the weather is in the 50’s, at least as good or better than in the mtns in Calif. Get to see family and the 2 1/2 YO grand-daughter.
SO SORRY to hear about the head cold, esp going into the chest! I agree, you should put off the PFT until you are better. We will all be…[Read more]-
Good morning @marshaharris, thanks so much for writing but so sorry to hear of the stubborn head cold my friend. Take good care of yourself to ensure it doesn’t travel into your lungs!
